Heritage Christian Academy

What Heritage Christian Academy does

Heritage Christian Academy is a non-profit 501(c)(3) private Christian school operating on a single campus at 19527 104th Ave NE, Bothell, Washington. Founded in 1979, the school serves students from preschool (ages 2.5+) through 12th grade, with a high school program launched in 2022-2023 and its first graduating class expected in 2025-2026. Core academic programs include Preschool, Kindergarten, Elementary (K-5), Middle School (6-8), and High School (9-12), supported by the Learning Success Center for differentiated instruction and 504 accommodation plans, a no-cut Athletics Program for grades 5-12, licensed Extended Child Care (ages 30 months to 12 years), Summer Camp, and after-school clubs.

The school generates revenue through a multi-stream model anchored by annual tuition across grade levels, supplemented by usage-based extended care billing ($14-$15/hour in 30-minute increments), summer camp fees (half-day $40/day, full-day $78/day), after-school club fees, athletics registration, and an active fundraising program including an annual auction, Annual Fund, scholarship fund, and matching gifts. The technology stack is built entirely on third-party SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems: RenWeb for enrollment, FACTS Family Portal for grades, tuition billing, and family communications, FinalForms for athletics registration, and qgiv and Double the Donation for online giving. The school uses a SnapPages-built website and integrates Lands' End and SquadLocker for uniform fulfillment.

The go-to-market is sales-led and community-driven, relying on word-of-mouth referrals, church partnership (CrossPointe Church, with executive pastor and elder on the HCA board), weekly campus tours, social media campaigns, and the Parent Teacher Fellowship network. The school reports academic outcomes placing students in the 85th+ percentile on Iowa assessments and approximately one grade level above local public schools on iReady diagnostics, with 10:1 preschool ratios and 18-24 student K-12 class sizes. It is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and governed by a School Board comprising parent representatives, church representatives, and community members.

Direct peers

• Seattle Christian School: ACS-style accredited PreK-12 Christian school in the greater Seattle area. Comparable mission, similar tuition tier, and overlapping competitive geography for faith-based private school families.
• King's Schools: Shoreline, WA-based Christian PreK-12 school with athletics, arts, and college-prep programming. Closely comparable in scale, mission, and the Christ-centered integrated curriculum approach HCA uses.
• Eastside Christian School: Faith-based private school serving the Eastside (Bellevue/Issaquah) with a similar Christ-centered PreK-12 model. Competes with HCA for Christian families in the Seattle metro's Eastside corridor.
• Cedar Park Christian Schools: Faith-based PreK-12 private school with campuses in the greater Bothell/Carnation area. HCA's most direct local competitor, sharing the Christ-centered mission, ACSI-style positioning, and overlapping feeder geographies.

Regional players

• Bear Creek School: Non-faith-based private K-12 school in Redmond/Bothell with a college-prep focus. Competes with HCA for the same Eastside families who can afford private tuition but represents the secular alternative to faith-based private education.
• Liberty Christian School: Faith-based K-12 private school in Richland, WA serving the Tri-Cities. Comparable Christ-centered mission and program structure; a relevant Pacific Northwest peer though not a direct Bothell competitor.
• Northwest Christian Schools: Spokane-area ACSI-accredited PreK-12 Christian school. Comparable faith-based K-12 operating model and ACSI credentialing, useful for understanding regional performance benchmarks.
• Bellingham Christian School: Faith-based PreK-12 school in Bellingham, WA. Comparable Christ-centered model, similar size class, and shared Pacific Northwest market — useful for benchmarking tuition, enrollment, and program mix.

Emerging players

• Faith Christian Academy: Smaller faith-based private academy in the broader Pacific Northwest/Mountain West region with a comparable Christ-centered PreK-12 offering. Useful as a peer for a school of HCA's size and stage.
• Summit Christian Academy: Independent faith-based K-12 academy in the Pacific Northwest offering a Christ-centered liberal arts curriculum. Comparable mission and school size class, though smaller in scale than HCA's full PreK-12 offering.
